Food protein hydrolysis, a crucial step in digestion, is catalyzed by trypsin enzymes from the
digestive apparatus of invertebrates. Trypsin appeared early in evolution and occurs in all …

The development of cost‐effective and nutritionally adequate formulated feeds is a key step
for developing sustainable technologies for new aquaculture species. There has been many …

Textural quality of fish and shellfish is the most important factor because it limits consumer
acceptance as well as market price. The muscle softening or mushiness of fish and shellfish …

This study evaluated the food safety and proximate composition of shrimp head (SH).
Potentially toxic elements in SH were below European Union legislation limits. SH had a …

We characterized major digestive enzymes in Panulirus argus using a combination of
biochemical assays and substrate-(SDS or native)-PAGE. Protease and amylase activities …

Changes in major digestive enzymes through developmental and molt stages were studied
for the spiny lobster Panulirus argus. There were significant positive relationships between …

This study evaluated the use of pre-digested (PD) seaweeds Ulva lactuca and Eisenia sp. as
functional ingredients in feed through their effect on growth, digestive enzymatic activity, and …

The trypsin of Litopenaeus vannamei is a polymorphic molecule. Three sequences are
translated in the digestive gland of this species. In some individuals, there are 2 isozyme …

Proteases from the midgut gland of the Farfantepenaeus paulensis juveniles were
assessed. Enzyme activity was determined using protease substrates and inhibitors. The …

Scientific studies about decapod crustaceans' digestive physiology have increased, being
an important topic with novel results in the last years. This revision aims to show how the …
